The Met Office has given its long-range forecast amid reports the UK could bask in temperatures as high as 40C next month.
Britain saw its first ever 40C reading on July 19 last year and a number of outlets say the record could repeat itself this summer. Met Office forecasters are predicting more pleasant weather for this week, with highs of 25C in Liverpool.
People can expect plenty of sunny spells with scattered showers and a "largely dry end to the week" though there is a "chance of the odd shower or rain by Sunday."
